Just played through both of these, they were so good.

Why couldn’t you just format the entire drive with the linux installer?

Hadnt heard of this one so i did a search but anker games (dot) my is the first one that came up and looked sketchy, so i checked fmhy and they link to ankergames (dot) net, so i assume thats the reliable one just fyi.

Just always make paritions a unique size and use their size to identify them. I’m sorta joking because this is not a good solution, but also not because this is what i always do.

Archive.org has been operating for 30 years. You think your shitty little sarcasm is equivalent to an institution thats been around nearly as long as the internet, and yet has entirely resisted and avoided any of the enshittification thats infected literally everything else thats come after it? The internet archive is one of the last fundamentally good and public serving institutions and somehow you’re licking the boots of record companies trying to capitalize on expired copyright claims. Reexamine your priorities and fuck off while youre at it, since your ‘better idea’ is clearly to just do nothing at all.

Sounds like a cool idea, why don’t you set it up?

What is? How does a checkmark help distinguish between two people that have the same name? The checkmark just shows that the person is who they say they are.

People use usernames like they always have, and rely on reputation to distinguish themselves from the fakes? Senator ted ceuz makes an account called ‘senatortedcruz’ or if thats taken ‘therealsenatortedcruz’, and the mechanic makes one called ‘tedcruzcars’ or whatever. I dont see how your example is even relevant, because under a checkmark verification system both the mechanic ted cruz, and the senator ted cruz would be valid and deserving of a check mark, so there has to be some other way of distinguishing them anyway.

If they (the rich) dont grind your meat, they can’t have any pudding. How can they have any pudding if they don’t grind your meat?

Ive had way more problems getting things to work or with things just breaking for no reason with windows than i have with linux. People are so disingenuous with their ‘windows just works’ bullshit. Windows is a steaming hot pile of garbage that loves to fuck with you in completely irrational ways, while at least linux is predictable.

I want to know what a dinosaur resignation letter would sound like. Not enough to ask an LLM, but I am curious.

They probably were upset, but not upset enough to do anything about it because they still wanted to play it. I personally would have refunded it right away, and lots of people probably also did that.

Which was a deception in the first place, because it clearly distinguishes between ‘1 player’ where it doesn’t say anything about needing a network connection, and 2-8 player where it says network and playstation plus required. It also says network features can be removed at any time, but nowhere does it say 1 player is a network feature. It specifically does not say that.

The steam deck has way more potential, but CAN be just as simplr as only ever launching and downloading games through gaming mode. The parent downloads 5stean deck verified games and then all the kid has to do is use the joystick to switch between them. But then it also has the potential to be a learning experience or teaching tool as the kid grows. But the steamos gaming mode is dead simple to navigate and a child could definitely use it.

Idiots who have never used a steam deck and are obviously scared by the word linux in this thread. You can easily use the steamdeck without ever leaving gaming mode and with absolutely no troubleshooting needed. Its as simple as browsing steam, pressing download, and pressing play. I would absolutely give it to a child with a few games preloaded, and they would be perfectly fine to use it. The UI is way more friendly than the switch one also. Everytime ive tried to play a game on switch with friends theres been some update that takes ages, the Ui is slow and clunky, and connecting joycons is an absolute pain. What troubleshooting do you think is necessary to run a game from steam lmao?

Steam deck is definitely just as easy to use as the switch for playing and downloading basic games from the storefront. A 5 year old could absolutely use it easily with some games preloaded.

How can you not? Like there are specific tells as the other user pointed out, but aside from that so much AI slop just has this absurd uncanny valley quality that Im actually kinda blown away that other people don’t immediately see it.

The genie is out of the bottle now. I love SteamOS with its ease of use and steaminput integration, but theres already a ton of open source projects building on what they started that would totally still be able to out perform microsoft even if valve stopped updating steamos today. But every indication seems to be that thats the opposite of their plan, as they’re extending steamOS support to other handhelds and devices officially now.

Get a good mouse with some extra buttons and it makes the whole experience a lot nicer. And remember you can usually change any keybindings you dont like. My mouse has two extea thumb buttons and theres some games where ill use one for sprint or dash, although left shift feels pretty natural after you get used to it for a while. The biggest difference with mouse is turning like you said, its not like a conteoller where you can just hold it to the side and then release to ‘reset’. Regardless of your preferred sensitivity tou have to get used to ‘resetting’ the mouse yourself by pucking it up and recentering it. But once you get used to that it feels way more responsive and accurate than controller aiming imo. I got a steamdeck a couple years ago and its largely replaced my pc for gaming but theres still times where i wish i had a mouse, even with the touchpads.

Logitech mx518 is the best gaming mouse ive ever used. I originally got it for $30 on a sale in like 2009 or so when i built my second main gaming pc. Then in 2020 when i got back into PC gaming and built a new rig I just checked to see if it was still available as my old one the cord had gotten chewed, and i guess they rereleased it and i ended up paying like $70 but i still think it was worth it. Anyway moral of the story aside from awesome ergonomics it has a little dpi switcher above and below the mouse wheel that lets you cycle tne DPI and therefore the sensitivity super quick and on the fly.
